WORKSOP 1957 to 1963

Worksop 1957 to 1963, I took this Cine Film around Worksop, the first part with a Camera a friend of my Dad let me use, sorry the film is a bit shaky, I didn't realise you had to hold the Camera steady, I managed to get one for my Birthday in 1958,

I can't thank you enough for this. Like gold to me. I was a Dinnington, Anston Lad. I never knew Worksop had red buses?. They were always green. I love old local history. I also love the up cars, lorries, buses bikes, and vans, so Stylish, unlike the little unexciting boxes on four wheels of today. So sad, how Worksop is today. Wish I'd lived back then. Don't like today.

Have to say I have never been there but I always love looking at these old films as it takes me back to an era I knew, was a teenager then. Ladies always got into cars very elegantly those days ! Thanks for putting it on.

Fantastic. My sister in laws house there on Chatsworth road!

Thanks Rod. As a "petrol head" borne in 1958 I recognise most of those cars and trucks, obviously your family also valued cars. It's great that you are taking the time to post these films to TH-cam, keep up the good work.

We moved not far down the road and round the corner from that motor accessory shop to number 63 Central Avenue in 1979 when I was 14 years old, it was one of the two houses right next to Central Avenue car park. There was an alleyway down the side of our house with a company at the end that was called Pleasance Glass, someone suggested that they were related to the actor Donald Pleasance who was born in Worksop, but I'm not sure if they really were related to him.
Anyway, I used to drool through the window of that motor accessory shop regularly as I past it to pop into the sweet shop that was next door to it. Eventually when I started to tinker with motorcycles around 1981 I popped into that accessory shop and bought a couple of Kamasa socket sets, I think the shop was called Reliance at that time.
